http://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-HT...ltDomain_0&hash=item519bae76af#ht_2526wt_1139

Of all places, it's coming from hong kong aaand sold out for that matter!

Hello, I want some help!
What earphones can I get that can give me Music Control and Mic so I can enjoy Beats software.
I think Beats tour or the other ones doesn´t work. Or there is any way to make them work??
Thanks

The best way is to use the original HTC Headset ans solder earbuds of your choise on it.

Would love to get a one, but too expensive

I got a hold of a pair. I know a lot of people here rip them for being overpriced and such, but they are a good pair of headphones. If you can find it cheaper than retail, like ebay or the like, then I say go for it. I own vmoda lp crossfades and they are my favorite over the ear, but for the in ear, this is a great second fav IMO.
I attached a pic. And comparing to stock earphones, it doesn't compare at all. The bass is def there. I am not a big bass fan, but it's def a plus compared to stock. And to have this answer and end calls this works great for me...until MIUI has it's BT issues fixed

i still got one unused in the box,
not gonna use them because i still got my old shures.

After some research, isn't "iBeats" fake? I mean, yeah they're actually called iBeats but the phones that come with the sensation are rebranded as "urBeats" Correct me if I'm wrong! I wouldn't get these at all!

The oringinal poster made a mistake.
iBeats is a earpiece that beats is selling which looks similiar to what HTC has bundled with their beats phones which is the urBeats we all know.
One key difference between iBeats and urBeats is the mic/control piece which in the iBeats case is diamond shaped while in urBeats is just normally round.
Soundwise I wouldn't know as I have not any access to either one of them.
Hope this clears the misunderstanding!

Should be the same, but that white one is the same price essentially. That seller you posted, doesn't ship to the US. Last I checked.

I bought them a week ago and were shipped. Hopefully I'll know what their like in a few days.

[Q] Should I buy a sensation now?

Contract is up, been offered an HTC sensation for £21per month, 24 month contract, 600min, 500mb, unlimited texts. Highly tempted, but the phones been out for a while now and I know others with much better processors will be out soon. What to do!? Would you guys still recommend this phone at this time?
What would you do?
Cheers

Depends, the new phones that do come out will probably be quite expensive at launch.
But that should push the price of the Sensation down further. The contract you're being offered is pretty good though.
I do recommend the Sensation but if I were you, I'd wait a few weeks and see if the price drops further with the launch of new devices.

Thanks for your message, I've been with my HTC Desire for a while now, the Sensation should be quite an upgrade anyway. Any major disadvantages of the Sensation compared with other phones? Most reviews I read are quite generic.

you should wait man the sensation has death grip issues also dust under the screen and overheating issues the phone is also bulky wait quad core phones are about to release.

no death grip here either. For me this phone hasnt had any real downsides. great development, great help, really nice hardware. My worst problems include that the screen can be scratched despite being gorilla glass and the back cover has HTC glued on and some people have had it fallen off. Plus the new phones may have quad core but that just means more battery usage plus who on here other devs are gonna use/need 4 cores?

Also with for wifi / 3g lose? Did you try the bottom and up side? , loses bar level for wifi and 3g
Try it!,

I never buy phones right after they're released, they are usually overpriced at the launch. £21 is a good offer but if money is not an issue for you I'd go for galaxy nexus. Prices are already down and you can get a good deal. Quad core is just a gimmick, you'll not even notice a difference.

Beats audio

Is it true that sense 3.6 with beats audio offers better music is all.

Some people love beats audio, some do not. its just a matter of personal preference. You can try it and see if you like it or not. It's a matter of personal choice. Hope this helps

Beats Audio definitely makes your music sound more crisp and enhances bass. I am in love with it. It has spoiled me to be honest. I am a huge Prog fan and Beats Audio just gives so much more depth to every song!

Right now I'm using Beats by Grogg, its very stable, I'm using version b. 3.0 there are two versions. But I prefer b. I can get WiFi and hotspot, every thing is working properly. You might want to give it a try
hope this helps you.

The difference between "Beats" and say a normal Sensation is not huge. The volume levels between Sensation and Sensation XE are slightly different though.
Best way to experience the difference between regular and beats is to run the mudhi beats mod. There are four preset equalizer settings included:
normal
dolby (same as srs)
srs (same as dolby)
beats
(and multiple music type presets)
The difference between "normal" and "beats" is hardly anything to be noticed...
Now, here is why Beats sounds so much different on an XE rom or true beats port. The XE only has two preset equalizer settings:
normal
beats
What htc fails to mention in those settings is that "normal" is actually using srs processing. The s-curves are different between the two, but the srs also provides more of a flat sound enhancing all ranges. This is why there is a dramatic difference between "normal" and "beats".
In the end Beats is really more of a marketing gimmick than anything, and the true quality of the music is mostly determined by what headset you are using...

I'm sorry for seeming like maybe a **** and not saying thank you I was just learning and I'm still learning how this all works so please just bare with me.thanks and I appreciate all your help. Takecsre!!!

I'm not sure where you think you seemed like a ****, but I don't think apologies are in order.

use dsp manager and set your music to your own liking based on whatever headset you have. i had beats with my beats headset thought it was cool until i tried dsp manager. i like taking control of my sounds and not some preset by someone who thinks they're a sound engineer.

I'm sorry for what I said in your other thread, was just a bit pissed.
Anyway beats audio gives music a 3d-like effect and also a bass boost. To get the full effect make sure you have a good set of headphones ( not ****ty apple ones ).

Well i think you need some good headphones to notice the difference because honestly i use iphones headphones and when i turn on/off i dont see a difference at all...

Nexus S is a good phone, but I wouldn't do it. I don't like AOSP that much to take a downgrade on hardware. Also I've no use for the Infuse, so I wouldn't really care to fix it.

I personally do not like HTC Sense, but the GS3 after reading on Android Police will have all if not most of the updates coming from the GS4, so I mean it's not really worth the few bucks I guess. The GS3 is a MAJOR upgrade from my HTC Sensation anyways so Ill be happy.
@sunnytse1, lol it'll be alright I am going to get a nice case for this
